JP party descriptions translations

[Kayarine]

Jan 22 update: Added a line about 4 VH TAs + 1 SH TA to the TA section. Cleaned up TA and EQ sections slightly.

Here are some translations of the most common instructions in Japanese pick-up groups' descriptions.

I have a lot of filler text indicated as "・・・", so if you know how to properly format/fill it in it so it's gramatically correct, that would be appreciated as well!
TA and EQ sections are entirely lacking this at the moment. Killed AQ section because it was redundant with the spreadsheet.

Please correct any mistakes too, as this was compilled by someone who knows very little Japanese and is guessing meanings off of what little she can read.

NOTE: Japanese text separated by slashes (/) indicates variations of the same text. Don't paste everything in if you're making party descriptions!

NOTE 2: Please use these words whenever you join a Japanese party! They're the bare minimum for politeness. If you're interested in more words, look at the spreadsheet linked in the AQ section.

よろしくお願いします
Pleased to meet you. (Use when you join the party and when someone else joins.)

お疲れ様でした
Good work. (Use when the party is done.)

ＰＴありがとうございました
Thank you for the party. (Use after the above.)


Advanced Quests
Find the appropriate block.
アドバンス = Advanced

Z-0 compiled this > spreadsheet < with plenty of useful stuff for AQs.


Time Attacks
Find the appropriate block.
タイムアタック = Time Attack
If you don't know how to run TAs, click here.
It's recommended that you use your main class for faster runs.
WARNING: Do NOT break the Tranmizer drop crystal before EVERYONE is in the room, because it allows all players to get drops! JP players will get upset if you do so, and you may end up getting kicked and/or blacklisted.

Spoiler!

クロトＳＨ５種 / ＴＡ５種類
This is usually in the party name. It means that they're going to run all 5 TAs in that difficulty.

ＶＨ４種＋ＳＨ祭壇
This is usually in the party name. It means that they're going to run the first 4 VH TAs and SH Sanctum, for the SH TA CO.

Sometimes they also list the order they're going to run the TAs in the description. It's very rare for it to be anything but Nab->Nab2->Lilli->Amd->Sanctum.

On the rare occasion a party is going to do it in a different order, here are the abbreviations for each TA:

Spoiler!

ナベ
Naberius

ナベⅡ
Naberius II

リリ
Lillipa

アム
Amduscia

祭壇
Sanctum

ショートカット / ショトカ
Shortcut. Usually this means the party is going to take all shortcuts in every TA.
If you want to say that you want to take shortcuts in your party description, use: ショートカット使用

マイザー箱全員
Do not break the item drop crystal from Tranmizer until everyone is present.

リリーパ１北ルート / 砂漠北ルート
Take the north shortcut in Lillipa Area 1.
This refers to the north path in the crossroad at C-4. If you go north there, you'll spawn Gilnas, Spardan A and Spargun. Once someone touches the blue fence at B-5 (killing enemies at B-5 and pressing the yellow switch are NOT necessary,) the white fence north in C-4, beyond the Gilnas/Spardan/Spargun, will disappear and the party can go through there, skipping B-4 and B-3.
(See video examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSf4IypoUUk&t=45s and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE_wQdWenV4&t=31s)


リリーパ１北× / リリーパ南ルート
Go south in Lillipa Area 1. (Don't take the shortcut mentioned above.)

アブダク破棄 / 拉致破棄
Party will cancel abduction if it happens.

アブダクいきます
(SH ONLY) Party will do abduction.

アブダク最短 / 拉致最短
(VH ONLY) Party will do abduction, but will take the shortest/fastest route to the end, avoiding bosses not required to progress (Ragne and Zesh.)

４人・・・ / 四人・・・
Start when there are 4 people in the party.
If you want to put it in your party description, use: ４人スタート


Example TA description:

マイザー箱全員 リリーパ１北ルート
アブダク最短

Wait for everyone before breaking Mizer crystal / Take north route in Lillipa Area 1
Do abduction, take shortest route

Emergency Quests
Find a block appropriate for the difficulty you want to do the EQ in.
Normal = ノーマル, Hard = ハード, Very Hard = ベリーハード, Super Hard = スーパーハード
Note that I'm not really sure how to specify quests when it's multiple EQs in the same planet/area. The following info is best suited for standalone EQs such as Wind and Rain and Dark Falz.

Spoiler!

緊急 = Emergency
This is in the party name if they're going to do the Emergency Quest. It's also in the text when people are asking if anyone wants to join in lobbies.
If you're making a party for people to join at counter, put 緊急ＳＨ in the name. (Replace SH according to the difficulty.)

緊急ＳＨぐるぐる
Grinding in SH EQ (Used in party name if there's only one multi-player area in the quest)

エリア２ぐるぐる
Grinding in area 2 (Used in party description)

ＤＦ待機
Waiting for Dark Falz. This is found in party names that are going to run the Dark Falz Emergency Quest.

２５分まで
Until the 25 minutes mark.
This is used only for Falz parties, when the leader will leave at :25 to switch characters.

アイテム無視
Ignore item drops. (Leader will reset without waiting for others to pick up drops.)
This is also used only for Falz parties. Leader will reset as fast as possible.


If you want to make a Falz party, start a quest in Subdue Za Oodan OR Forest Exploration (in same the difficulty of the EQ you want to do) and ask people to join there.

An example of a lobby recruitment message that asks people to join through counter is:
緊急ＳＨ＠3
ザウーダンＳＨカウンターからどうぞ
Need 3 people for SH EQ
Please join at SH Subdue Za Oodan from counter
(Note: Both ざうーだん and ザウーダン mean Za Oodan)

If you want to ask people to join a Falz party, the message would be
DFSH@3
ザウーダンＳＨカウンターからどうぞ

Please change the "SH" and "3" parts according to the difficulty and number of spots in your party.

I've not done AQs, but the instructions seem simple enough to grasp:

Spoiler!

BYO Capsules / only kill along the way in areas 1&2
Wait at exit if it looks like a burst is coming
Defeat all trash mobs when it's Banther / properly destroy breakable parts


BYOC / kill along the way / ignore excavate and collect / defeat everything in boss rooms
GO at 4 people / head for exit or corner for bursts


Move as group / ignore collect and excavate / BYOC / whole map
Wait at exit for bursts


Defeat everything along the way / take down Caterdra'n first
For bursts, don't move if there are no exits or walls nearby, but if there's a hole nearby, then wait in the hole



Underground Mine grinding
Whole of area 1, along the way in area 2 / stop on the way depending on PSE
Skip bothersome E Trials / search for clones and Umblla / pass leader to person with highest risk


Kill along the way in maps 1&2 / ignore bothersome E Trials
Head to exit depending on burst conditions / no defeating Cater's minions


Kill along the way in areas 1&2 / stop on the way if it looks like a burst is coming



Kill along the way and advance efficiently / defeat all trash mobs only when it's Snow
Stop on the way at PSE Lv 7 / leader swap possible


Whole of area 1, along the way in area 2 / defeat all trash mobs when it's Quartz or Cater
defeat the two cater first / Rise equipment and TMG allowed

(Rise equipment being equipment that comes with Lucky Rise and the like and thus has not been properly affixed)

Thank you very much! It's helpful to know the most common instructions in the party descriptions. Though I'm not sure what waiting at/running to the exit for bursts means... I guess it would be rushing so the burst happens near the exit.

[Asdfv]

Ah, I had initially thought it meant it as a way to skip over bursts, but I guess that makes more sense. So, it's probably "fight it out at the exit" rather than "wait at the exit" (the verb is left out and only implied).

[Z-0]

A burst near the exit is the best way to burst; bursts in the middle of the field are horribly inefficient compared to them.

At the exit / entrance, everything spawns in front of you in a small area (usually small, can be larger in case of maps like Tundra and Caves), allowing you to pick off everything extremely by standing still and spamming Cluster Bullet, Additional Bullet, Zondeel with Talis, Rafoie, whatever. You will almost always Cross Burst doing this because of how fast things die. I've been doing this for a while in Advanced Quests, and the bursts are usually always amazing, especially since I recently made myself a Metaliginis.

And obviously, exit bursts also allow any FIs or /FIs to use Brave Stance really easily.

this OCR is good for kanji

Ohh I see, thanks for the tip. That makes a lot of sense now, rush to the exit/entrance for bursts. Some parties also instruct to go back to the entrance with a telepipe it seems. I guess that would be done after the burst is triggered so that things will actually spawn back there.


Edit:

this OCR is good for kanji

I tried using a browser based OCR before and it didn't read the kanji correctly. So I didn't want to rely on it for this.

i'm using it for kanji passwords, didn't fail on me so far

Kill along the way and advance efficiently / defeat all trash mobs only when it's Snow
Stop on the way at PSE Lv 7 / leader swap possible

Um...what does stop on the way at PSE lv7 mean?

[Alenoir]

Um...what does stop on the way at PSE lv7 mean?

It was meant to be "stray off to other paths when PSE Lv7 happens". The party otherwise want a speedy AD run.
